PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

October 4th, 2018:

Doylestown, Pennsylvania

 

So you’re one of the guys that costs the rest of us more money huh?

 

Again I will tout Florida, no vehicle inspections, no vehicle excise tax, no State income tax, no motorcycle "helmet laws" and dare I say it again "No SNOW!"--i.e. no scraping, no shoveling, no rusted out cars...

 

I've been seeing this a lot lately, and I think it's a result of the "fire in the hole" prank of recent years.

I've seen signs in the windows of various Burger King, McDonald's, and Wendy's locations. I have a front dashcam in my truck, as well as interior and rear-facing. Last time I drove through BK, I asked the drive-thru girl why photography wasn't allowed and she didn't seem to know. I told her I had dashcams in my truck and she didn't seem to care...

What do you think, people of TW?

Bill, I think I'm going to buy a Subaru Crosstrek...

Don't worry, I'm not selling or trading in the Taco!

 

I like those

 

I want an orange one with a manual transmission...

 

Mine is an 05, so I'm not sure what airbags I have other than steering wheel and passenger dash. I'll have to check my seats I guess.

Hey my coworker has a Crosstrek, but it's not orange and it's not a manual.

One time, probably six years ago, a camera shop owner got pissed at me because I told another customer that a specific SD card could be purchased at Best Buy cheaper.

Last time I checked, this was a free country...

Also, I prefer to buy my cameras at Cardinal Camera because they have a better selection and their warranty is amazing. However, I prefer to buy shit like SD cards and batteries at places like Beat Buy because it is cheaper.

I've also read stories about Petland franchise owners throwing customers out for discussing dog breeder information and supposedly stealing their business. Petland can go fuck itself as far as I'm concerned, since they buy from puppy mills.

 

I've never seen a PetLand in my life.

 

Good...

They're like concentration camps for dogs!

 

Pulgas?

 

How’s your pup doing Charlie

 

Great! Can't wait until she stops teething though...

 

I briefly considered selling my Tacoma and buying something newer, but have ultimately decided against it. I just love my truck too much!

That said, my truck has had the following done within the last 12,000 miles:

Tires (October 2017)

Front brakes; calipers pads, and rotors (March 2018)

Transmission fluid flush/change (April 2018)

Rear brakes; Shoes/linings (June 2018)

Oil change; Full synthetic (June 2018)

My current mileage is 88,442 if I remember correctly.

I have a timing chain and not a belt so that should in theory last forever.

A guy I know told me power steering fluid doesn't need to be changed unless a leak develops.

Thoughts???

 

NOTE: Service manual is rather vague when it comes to my specific truck (2010 auto 5-lug).

 

When was the last time the brake fluid was changed?

 

Also, I considered replacing my truck with one the following:

2009-2015 Taco 4x4 stick shift

2016-2018 2.7L Taco 4x4

2018-2019 Subie Crosstrek

 

I have no idea. I'm guessing at the time of last brake service but will have to check records.

 

Wouldn't worry about the steering fluid if it starts leaking drain it, ditch the rack and run a straight line worked like a charm on mine. saved a few $100 ditching the rack and that was what rusted out and caused the leak
